The Story
Eau de Parfum No. 21 is a luminous, green floral that captures the essence of a spring garden after rain. Created by Isabelle Doyen for Annick Goutal, it opens with a burst of fresh galbanum and bitter orange, then softens into a heart of jasmine and narcissus. The base is a warm, powdery blend of iris and sandalwood that lingers beautifully. It's a timeless, elegant scent that feels both classic and modern.
